CUCV M1008 glow plugs

[gjcyoung]

Bought AC Delco 8#60G glow plugs for our 1986 M1008, but terminals or the wrong size ( too big ). Is there another part # I should be looking at so that I don't have to change connector? Also, Glow Plug Controller that they sent doesn't appear to be the correct part. Any suggestions on where to source correct parts?

Better to change the connector. Some have just trimmed down the terminal on the glow plug. The Wellmans have the correct size terminal, but have been known to swell.

Just looking on a popular auction site and I think the correct ones are the 13G and on the "what have you done to your CUCV today thread the other GM number for the same plugs were recently mentioned (5613939). There's pics on that bay site that shows the box with both numbers. They look to have the narrow spade plug. I, myself, wonder if the Wellmans are worth the swelling risk as a seller has a photo of a Wellman beside an AC Delco and the Wellman is fully glowing while the Delco only has the tip glowing. Both the same price, at $60/set. Anyone ever have issues removing the Wellmans?

There are lots of posts here about removing swollen plugs. People like the 60G because they are self-regulating, I went with Bosch for mine.

I have had great luck with the stock A C Delco 13G glow plugs. Just a reminder I have all my CUCV's hooked up as they came from the factory. Everything. you may be tired of hearing me say that. But I drive them every week and some everyday. OK I said my piece. i have a truck in my driveway right now that has the resistors cut off and am in the process of returning it to stock. Have a good day. I would not steer you wrong. I have no reason or gain to.

Do you mean eBay? It's not against the rules to mention eBay, it's just verbotten to link to auctions there. Really! It's okay - you can say eBay.

Ahhhhh! It was nice knowing you. Here they come.
Ok. Maybe I'm slightly overcautious. Thanks. I do see "4 Star General" and not "Banned" as your "rank".

Yeah, and I've said eBay more than once!
